  1. WK2 -Suspension/Driveline/Brakes/Wheels/Tires
    I'm thinking of trading my 2015 Altitude for a 2013 jeep SRT8. Will I regret it seems the 8 speed has a lot of issues. Is the older tranny that much better
  2. WK2 -Diesel Powered 2012+ Export Grand Cherokee
    Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone has had their eight speed auto serviced at 100,000km ? My GC Diesel is just about there, and I'm seriously considering getting the transmission done. I know it is "supposedly" sealed for life, by mine spends most of it's time towing a three ton caravan around...
  3. WK2 - Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel 3.0
    This will be huge for a variety of reasons! Reiterates support for our EcoDiesel in our Grand Cherokee WK2 and the Ram trucks; more parts availability, aftermarket support, etc. With the GDE Hot Tune, 470 ft.lbs. torque in a Wrangler chassis, that's got to be a helluva off-road...
  4. WK2 -Trouble Shooting/Problems/Service
    Has anybody else had an issue with the shifter handle sticking? Sometimes it's a minor stick and sometimes I have to crank down on the handle to break it free causing me to go all the way to drive instead of reverse or vice versa. I took it to my dealer and the tech confirmed it was sticking and...
  5. WK2- Grand Cherokee (2011-2021/22 WK)
    Has anyone driven/owned a WK2 jeep (2011-2013) with the 6 speed transmission, and now owns (or has driven) the new 8 speed found in the (2014+ model years)? The reason I ask is because back in 2013, as some may remember I lemoned my WK2. Brief background on why: The transmission had the...
  6. WK2 -Export Grand Cherokee
    Anyone else having clunkyness in the driveline at bumper to bumper speeds, ie going up/down 1/2/3 gears? Mines had is since new, reported it twice and both times the software was apparently upgraded as per the latest TSB's, last time was about 4 weeks ago. I'm not 100% sure its coming from the...
  7. WK2 -Trouble Shooting/Problems/Service
    Hey guys, Bout to pull the trigger on a 2015 Altitude. Was just wondering if recently purchased 2015s are still experiencing the Transmission issues or they have been resolved by now. Any other issues that have been experienced will be greatly received. Also when walking into the dealership...
  8. WK2 -Trouble Shooting/Problems/Service
    Hello, I know this is lifetime fluid and I know there are arguments for and against changing so I don't mean to open that can of worms......but I want to change the fluid and filter at about 75K which I am rapidly approaching. I drive about 30K/year on business, and tow a boat in the summer, and...
  9. JL Wrangler (model years 2018 - Present)
    So say the guys at autoblog. They are not the type to throw it out there if they don't have a pretty solid source. Next-gen Jeep Wrangler to get 8-speed automatic and 3.0-liter EcoDiesel
  10. WK2 -Trouble Shooting/Problems/Service
    While the shifting of the 8 speed is very smooth does anyone notice when driving in the 25 to 35 mph range the torque converter locks up and it seem to lug the engine. This is just kind of annoying to me it seem like in this range I always want to step on the gas a little more to get it to...
  11. KL Cherokee (model years 2014–present)
    I've wondered now that i have a Cherokee with the 9 speed, why jeep didn't just use the reliable 8 speed which is used in many vehicles across the Chrysler line up. I've had the opportunity to drive a 14 srt grand Cherokee and i gotta say, the shifts are alot smother and it actually gets to the...
  12. WK2 -Export Grand Cherokee
    Having now done 10,000km in the MY14 8 speed diesel and having also owned a 5 speed 2011 5 speed diesel I can say with confidence that the 5 speed was quicker off the mark. Has anyone else experienced the same, the salespeople I have spoken to have told a similar story, I find the 8 speed...
  13. WK2 -Suspension/Driveline/Brakes/Wheels/Tires
    Just want to validate the behavior of the transmission in paddle shift mode. My GC is a export Diesel, here is what I have found; * In paddle shift mode (and in both Sport mode and ECO mode) the transmission will kick down one gear; eg select a gear using the paddle, say with the engine speed...

  15. WK2- Grand Cherokee (2011-2021/22 WK)
    I have a Limited 2014. I really have no complaints about the 8 Speed Transmission and saw lots of threads of abrupt shifting etc. Mine was built 3 weeks ago so I'm pretty sure it has the latest firmware. Anyway it may be behaving complete normal and just a matter of getting used to it. But...
  16. WK2- Grand Cherokee (2011-2021/22 WK)
    Searched but couldn't find any info. How is the new 8 speed tranny on the v6 working out? Worthwhile to pick up a used 2014 Laredo next year ( more money ) as opposed to a 2011-13 with 5 speed?
  17. WK2 -Grand Cherokee SRT (2012-2018)
